Chapter 1301: Full Strength 1

At the Huaxia front-line airfield, a group of ground crews carefully installed a set of combined pylons in the lower part of the wings of the Foxbat fighter, which is specially used to carry anti-armor rockets, and under normal circumstances, the number of rockets carried by an aircraft will not exceed two digits. Although there are no rocket launchers in this plane, there is something similar, and the British have come up with a pylon, a group of pylons can carry four 35-pound anti-armor rockets, and a Hurricane fighter can carry four. Huaxia's Foxbat fighters are larger and carry more. One can carry 6 sets of pylons, a total of 24 rockets, and at the same time install another pylons in the belly, this is invented by the Americans, after hanging 6 rounds of 100-pound anti-infantry bombs, it looks like a bunch of bananas. The use of this composite pylons greatly improves the efficiency of aircraft air strikes.

Considering that the Luftwaffe will not have many troops participating in the war, this time the Huaxia Air Force is also a lot bolder, and directly installed the belly and engine compartment armor on some Foxbat aircraft and changed it to a ground attack aircraft, professionally sweeping the floor! At the same time, in order to give full play to the role of long-range artillery, the Air Force has also specially equipped a brand-new artillery aircraft. Such an aircraft is equipped with a more powerful radio station and can take 4 people. Increased work efficiency.

After some preparations, when the Huaxia Air Force joined the battlefield, a new round of attacks in Huaxia was finally launched, and this time, almost all the front-line troops in Huaxia were dispatched. Xu Huaide and Zhou Xuan's two armored divisions were on the two wings, Zhao Sicheng's mechanized infantry division was deployed in the middle, and the three troops were pushed sideways like a wall under the cover of the air force. Under these circumstances, it became unfeasible for the Germans to rely on defensive artillery or to launch short assaults, or to rely on long-range artillery fire to blockade them.

The first to break through was Zhou Xuan's right wing. Against it was a full armored division to which Manstein belonged. WHEN THE LATTER ALSO EXPECTS TO CONSOLIDATE THEIR POSITIONS THROUGH ANTI-AIRCRAFT ARTILLERY AND TANK DESTROYERS, AND SUPPRESS THE OPPONENT'S LONG-RANGE ARTILLERY AND ROCKET ARTILLERY WITH 170MM LONG-RANGE ARTILLERY. When the tactic of concentrating tanks for a counterattack after the enemy was exhausted had worked, the flying fox attack aircraft made it all come to naught. Unlike the Germans, who sent bombers to bomb the bombers before attacking, the attacks of the Chinese Air Force and Army were carried out almost simultaneously. This time, the attack group under Qin Yue's command really fulfilled the original promise, as long as the army buddies looked up, they could see the planes of the air force, one after another modified fox-bat bombers flying at a low altitude of 300 to 600 meters, and when attacking, they could even be reduced to below 200 meters!

After up to 1 hour of fire preparation. Zhou Xuan's two battalions, supported by a large number of assault guns and self-propelled mortars, attacked Manstein's position. After the previous stage of the encounter, both sides made some tactical adjustments. The Chinese increased air-ground coordination and air support, while the Germans intensified their air-release and long-range firepower. The German army, which advocated strengthening the distribution of firepower at the grassroots level, rarely concentrated some of the decentralized heavy firepower and unified its subordination. The Germans were further back in their defenses and relied more on long-range fire to block the breach. After the adjustment, the two sides played each other again, and both sides were confident in the new deployment.

Several huge wedge-shaped formations of tanks and tank destroyers attacked surrounded by infantry fighting vehicles, armored transporters, and self-propelled guns. WITH THE SORTIE OF ARMORED FORCES, THE BARRAGE OF THE ENTIRE ARTILLERY BEGAN TO EXTEND TO THE REAR, AND COUNTLESS 122MM AND 155MM HEAVY ARTILLERY SHELLS TURNED THE ENTIRE FRONT LINE INTO A LUNAR SURFACE. But even under such shelling, many of the semi-permanent fire support points that had been constructed survived tenaciously, and the remaining German officers and soldiers began to clear the floating soil from the weapons. Remove the corpses of their fallen comrades and enter their respective battle positions to prepare to meet the Huaxia armored forces that are gradually becoming clear in the smoke screen.

WITH THE SCREECHING SOUND OF SHELLS CUTTING THROUGH THE AIR, THE 75MM AND 88MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS DEPLOYED BY THE GERMANS IN THE PREFACE BEGAN TO FIRE, AND THE FIRE DRAGONS SHOT OUT ALMOST CLOSE TO THE GROUND. Dozens of artillery crews opened fire as the remaining mortars began to fire at lightly armored targets behind the tank. If viewed from the air, these fire support points cover each other directly, and when attacking one of the support points, the flank of the troops is exposed to the other. This, coupled with the interference of mines and infantry, significantly slowed the pace of the offensive of the troops.

"Let the Air Force clear the field, it's tiring with so many bombs." As the defenders' firing points gradually activated. The cards of both sides finally began to play, and the tank units began to slow down the pace of attack, clearing the fire points one by one with direct fire, but the tanks did not take advantage of the fire in the confrontation with the sturdy and low pillboxes. At this time, the Flying Fox Bomber, which carried 6 rounds of 250KG high-explosive bombs and turned into bomb trucks, began to enter the battlefield.

"Everyone, steady, pay attention to the angle is not too big, we put on the bomb and armor after the weight is about 1.7 tons heavier than the air combat mode. Don't worry about the opponent's air force, right behind us. The brothers from Nanyang can guarantee our safety. Xiao Yu, the squadron leader in charge of ground attack, kept reminding these newcomers. The attack area has been marked by the pilot aircraft in front, and these experienced pilots threw several smoke grenades into the target area, and the columns of smoke of various colors are very conspicuous from the air, which can guide the rookies behind to throw as accurately as possible.

The difficulty of low-altitude shallow dive bombing is actually lower than that of high-angle dive bombing. But for the first time, these newcomers carried so much ammunition to attack, and after adding additional armor and bombs and internal oil, the weight of the Foxbat bomber was as high as about 8 tons! The operational performance of the aircraft as a whole has dropped sharply. Xiao Yu was in charge of the first wave of attacks as the squadron leader, she skillfully controlled the power of the engine and carefully adjusted the attitude of the aircraft, the plane began to slide at an angle of 20 degrees, and the speed brake at the rear of the wing opened at the right time to control the speed of the aircraft. Xiao Yu's plane and two other planes flew past the battlefield in a zigzag shape. Then dropped bombs 150 meters above the opponent's positions and less than 800 meters from your own tank group! As the bomb disengaged, the plane jerked upward, and the freed Foxbat regained its fighter-like maneuverability. Xiao Yu stabilized the attitude of the plane and began to leave the bomb drop area.

One plane has 6 rounds of 250KG bombs, and three are 18 rounds! In the first round of attacks, three planes dropped 4.5 tons of bombs on a small position! If we take into account that the charge of the bomb is much greater than that of the shell. The amount of ammunition projected in these tens of seconds is much higher than that of shells of the same tonnage! One by one, the bombs detach from the pylons, and the rapidly falling bombs are quickly detonated after touching the ground! Thick plumes of smoke rose into the air, and the debris from the explosion and the wreckage of fortification weapons were thrown into the air with great power, and even the reinforced bunker could not resist in the face of medium bombs with a charge of about 100KG. The 18 bombs completely turned the target area into a series of large craters, and under the fortress, whether it was artillery, personnel or a reinforced area that could defend against direct fire from 6-inch grenades. Under the attack of 250KG bombs, it is as fragile as a piece of paper!

The energy generated by the successive explosions even affected the flying fox plane that swept through the low altitude, and Xiao Yu could feel the sound and vibration of some debris on the fuselage. However, fortunately, the heavy armor kept the key positions such as the engine and cockpit. After gradually climbing to 600 meters in the air, Xiao Yu and the others finally had a chance to take a look at their results. If before the Air Force launched the attack, it was the Chinese of the moon on the ground, now after the drop of tons of bombs. The entire area was turned into ravines, entire trenches and underground passages were destroyed, and the reinforced fire points that stood still in front of the tank guns became huge craters, and from the air, even the traces of radial explosions could be seen. The grayish-black ground was interspersed with red or other colored fragments. That should have been left by the defending Germans and their weapons.

"No more attacks, leave the remaining ammunition for the enemy behind." Xiao Yu said with satisfaction on the radio, and then signaled that the other two planes that had dropped the bombs could return home, while he continued to circle over the battlefield with those planes that had not dropped bombs, looking for new targets. Such a scene also occurred in the other two combat areas, under the blows of powerful ground attack aircraft and Chinese armored forces, the defense system that the Germans had worked so hard to build collapsed in just a few minutes! A wide crack appeared on the front of the entire defense line, this crack was not like the crack that appeared in the previous battles of several hundred meters but more than 1,000 meters at most, and the Huaxia Army did not enter a wedge, but crushed the opponent's defense line as a whole!

Faced with a sudden change in the situation. Manstein tried his best to make up for it, and the air force could not sit still, throwing the few squadrons of reserve fighters into the air defense. AFTER THE FIRST STAGE OF THE WAR OF ATTRITION, THE GERMANS LOST THE MOST NOT TANKS, NOR INFANTRY, BUT SELF-PROPELLED ANTI-TANK GUNS, THESE VEHICLES LOADED WITH 88MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS WERE THE HIGHEST PRIORITY IN THE CHINESE ATTACK, AND UNTIL NOW, THE GERMANS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE OUT A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SELF-PROPELLED 88MM GUNS TO PLUG SUCH A WIDE GAP, AND THEY ARE HELPLESS. They could only haul artillery in trucks to the battlefield. And because of the poor passability of the trucks, Germany's strongest anti-armor force became a burden to the counterattack force.

Manstein's defensive skills are also good, his idea is very good, and one of the three Huaxia armored forces that broke through used the existing defense line to resist. The other used howitzers of various calibers deployed in the second line of defense to delay the opponent's attack, while the third used the armor he was best at to counterattack. If all goes according to plan, the first two lanes should be blocked and consumed, while the third lane will be repulsed. However, with the cooperation of the Huaxia Air Force and mechanized troops, such a lack of synthetic defense ultimately fell short.

THE GERMANS FIRST BEGAN TO SUPPRESS THE 150MM HOWITZER AND 105MM HOWITZER GROUPS, WHICH DID NOT HAVE A LONG RANGE. If deployed on the front line, it is easy to be covered by the opponent's long-range artillery, so in order to maintain the survivability of these guns, these guns are deployed behind the second line of defense, out of the suppression range of the opponent's towed artillery, and at the same time, in order to ensure the safety of these guns, the Germans also deployed a certain amount of 20MM and 40MM anti-aircraft guns next to it. Add to this the fact that there are anti-tank obstacles and mines on the front line, as well as anti-tank guns, and it stands to reason that at least delaying the enemy's attack will not be a problem.

But alas, when the Germans' howitzers had just fired for less than 5 minutes, the red dots that appeared over the artillery group, as well as the whistling sound from far and near, plunged the entire position into chaos, and the experienced veterans immediately realized that the opponent's long-range fire had found its place! And under the guidance of the observation point, a counterattack was carried out, and after more than ten seconds, the first round of shells fell in the position, accompanied by a violent explosion, and the whole position was plunged into a sea of fire and smoke.

The Germans were not without a rear, they would not have fought with all their might in the first round of attacks, and when the artillery positions that opened fire first were attacked, specially deployed suppressive artillery groups began to range and fire at the long-range fire points in the Chinese. The hidden artillery groups were activated one after another, and the dense rain of bullets flew towards the artillery positions in the rear of Huaxia from multiple directions, and the first thing to destroy in the artillery duel was the opponent's artillery, and other targets could be temporarily put aside. Under the cover of the suppression artillery group, the Huaxia artillery group soon fell silent.

"Victory came a little quickly!" A German artillery major frowned slightly, by the end of World War 1, all countries knew the importance of artillery mobility, and long-range artillery within the range of the opponent's artillery would definitely not shoot too many shells in one place. This time, the other side seemed to have violated this rule, firing at least 10 rounds of attacks at the German artillery group that fired first in one place, and hundreds of high-explosive grenades completely destroyed the artillery group. The other party is like a bear, stubbornly hitting somewhere. This is not in line with Huaxia's combat principles and past combat performance.

His uneasiness was definitely not groundless, after a short period of ten minutes, not far from the artillery group that had just been covered, Huaxia's long-range artillery roared again, and in just a few minutes, an artillery group that had not had time to move was destroyed. What was even more shocking was that a moving artillery group was chased by a succession of shells on the way, and the high-explosive shells killed the tractor and the artillery, and their accuracy shocked the Germans.
